Six Days (Oxford and Windsor)

Six days to go!

Our tour includes visits outside London that are of historical significance, and we encourage students to spend a little time familiarizing themselves with Oxford and Windsor prior to departure.

Oxford


The University of Oxford is a collegiate research university in Oxford, England. There is evidence of teaching as far back as 1096, making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's second-oldest university in continuous operation. Oxford has educated many notable alumni, including 27 prime ministers of the United Kingdom and many heads of state and government around the world. 69 Nobel Prize winners, 3 Fields Medalists, and 6 Turing Award winners have studied, worked, or held visiting fellowships at the University of Oxford, while its alumni have won 160 Olympic medals. Oxford is the home of the Rhodes Scholarship, one of the world's oldest international scholarships.



Windsor

Did you follow the media coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral earlier this year? HERE is a video of the procession as it approached Windsor Castle, where we're headed. You will enjoy a self-guided audio tour of the wonderful Royal Apartments, followed by a visit inside St. George's Chapel and a walk around the castle walls.
